Ivosidenib is used to treat AML in adults with an IDH1 mutation. Your doctor will test you for this gene. Ivosidenib is used when other treatments did not work or have stopped working.

Ivosidenib is also used in adults 75 years and older who have newly-diagnosed AML and cannot use certain chemotherapy treatments because of other health problems.
